Celebrate summer in Webster on Saturday, June 22.

The Summer Celebration will include fireworks, food, inflatables, laser tag, games, crafts and a performance by The Skycoasters.

The event takes place at the Webster Recreation Center from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.
 

Our partners at the Messenger Post Newspapers caught up with veterinarian Dr. Gino Sementa last week and he answered a few questions:

How did you get into this line of work?

“We always had animals when I was growing up,” Dr. Sementa said, “And being a veterinarian was just always what I wanted since I was a little kid.”

How have you ended up in Webster?

“I purchased and took over the practice from Dr. Myron Bratton, who has moved to South Carolina with his family. I just started here April 29. I was looking to be on my own and in a smaller facility. Dr. Bratton actually contacted me through a mutual colleague.”

What is your background?

“I have been a practicing veterinarian for eight years. I was first with a private practice, doing an internship in New York City, then was at Stoneridge Animal Hospital in Greece for three years and the last four years I was at East Ridge Animal Hospital in Irondequoit.

The Webster Youth Triathlon will start at 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 9. This event is for children who have completed kindergarten up until age 16. Participants will swim, bike and run based on their age.

The first 250 participants will receive a goody bag and t-shirt.
